A Lost Generation

 I just heard to most inane thing from this generation of 20 somethings.

First off, let's set the stage.  The woman is a recent college grad, mid 20s and employed.  She has a man friend, who I assume the same age group, who is in seminary to become a Priest.  OK, so far so good.

Now comes the weirdness

He asked her to watch the movie Song of the South.  OK, still good.  This is a movie from 1946 and taken from Uncle Remus' stories.  Keep the context and time in history in mind.  That's how things should be judged.  NOT by today's standards.  

Anyway, moving on.  This is what she told me about the movie watching experience.  In her own words.

"Just last night he made me watch "Song of the South" and messaged him throughout the movie so he knew where I was and then he wanted my opinion if the movie was racist or not. Granted I haven't seen that movie in years so I didn't remember most of it, but I thought it was harmless, it is still Disney after all."

A couple of things.  You watch a movie and text each other???? What The Hell is that?  Next is the assumption that Disney is harmless?????  That tells you just how much 'woke' crap is perfectly OK.I don't get it and I don't want to.  I watch a movie without texting to prove I watched it.  That's nuts.  She should have said that.  He, who will be a priest, is learning that you can 'force' folks to do your will. And it's not too hard.  I don't get it. 

You know, we've had our Greatest Generation.  Now, I think we have the most Lost Generation.
